*Buy a PS3 game and get Vita version for free.


OK THIS ONE IS STUPID.

For two reasons:
1. It simply shows that Sony is treating the Vita as a portable home console.
2. What incentives have developers got to make games for VITA if you can buy a PS3 game and get a free one for your portable? Why would anyone buy a vita version of a game ever again lol.

That's exactly what I thought when I read that.

What I thought: FUCK YEAH!! More free games

Exactly, I already paid for the game, dafuq do I have to pay for it again just to play it on a handheld?

you are both missing the point.

If i get a free game on Vita with my PS3 purchase, what incentive do I have of buying exclusive VITA games that are essentially the same game but a minor spin off? All it will do is hurt game sales on VITA when everyone (including me) will take full advantage of the "free" vita version


First of all... no one would buy the same game twice (for PS3 and for VITA). Most people would buy it just for one console. Now they can buy it once and have it on both consoles.

Second, the "minor spin offs" are independent games, they are not free if you buy the main game ( you get the SAME GAME twice). You would have to buy it.

I don't understand the problem you have with this. You just buy a game and can play it on your PS3 and on your VITA. That way instead of buying the same game twice you can buy 2 different games. Maybe the one on PS3 and a spinoff on VITA or anothes IP.
